Progress update.

I went to the city with Fatima on the weekend and took some photos for our photo story. I have yet to gather and edit which ones I want to use for the final version.

Ideas for my digital photo story.

I haven't really settled on a final concept for my digital photo story. I only have a vague idea of what I want to do, really. I'm thinking of taking and gathering candid shots of random people, complete strangers, on the street or wherever. I was inspired by street-style photography such as The Sartorialist and other blogs. For my narration, I want to talk about how we perceive and judge complete strangers and also wonder about who they are, what their story is and what brought them where they are at present. Basically, I'm aiming to discuss how unique each individual and their life story is, in a non-clichéd way, I hope. So, that's it. I'm not make sure if that makes sense.

Photos in more detail.

In the last post I made, the photos weren't very visible. I am posting them here in a larger size. They look a bit grainy/blurry, though, after I resized them. So bear with me.















Final photo story.

So, here is my photo story, composed of 12 photos in total (including the front and back). 


NOTE: The photo of the bird is actually a montage as I altered the original background:

Photo story ideas.

I am thinking of compiling, for my photo story, photographs that evoke a similar theme, all of which tell a story. I want to use the idea of capturing movement and motion in a single shot. In my photographs, I want to capture movement in everyday life, such as people dancing, cars rushing, birds flying, etc. They would depict how each action and every little movement we make forms part of what we know to be real life. Every movement is something which most of us are familiar with, yet forget to notice and acknowledge its presence and the beauty of the simple things in life.

DVD cover draft.

Okay, so I've been playing around with Adobe Photoshop to create a rough idea of what I want my final cover (for my music video) to look like. Basically, I have a few versions of the cover I want but I can't really decide which one to use. I have yet to include more text if needed, although I'm still unsure of what text to put on a music video DVD. Here are the two best ones I made:
